Making sounds. Only dogs. Can hear.

I feel like I'm spamming everyone lately, but it's been a while since I've done Merlin recs. (These two have been shamelessly stolen from [livejournal.com profile] nicolasechs.)

So you know how Christmas and the holidays were last week? WRONG. It turns out they forgot something and had to turn the car around and they’ve decided to stay longer and go get smashed with New Year’s Eve tomorrow.


What I’m saying is this:

[livejournal.com profile] astolat AND [livejournal.com profile] merryish WROTE MERLIN FIC.

I am flailing so hard right now I almost put my own eye out a moment ago.


Beltane by [livejournal.com profile] astolat (Merlin, Gen, PG)

This is such an awesome idea for Merlin's backstory, and very neatly told. Like most of [livejournal.com profile] astolat's stories, it's something that OF COURSE must have happened, why didn't I think of that before?? This is my personal canon now, k? GO READ IT BEFORE I FLAIL YOU TO DEATH.


The Feast of Sticks by [livejournal.com profile] merryish (Arthur/Merlin pre-slash, G)

I pretty much had a grin on my face from the first sentence on. [livejournal.com profile] merryish just nails both of them and the dynamics of their relationship. The dialogue practically sparkles and Arthur is just awesome and so is Merlin and if I don't stop myself I'm going to gush on for pages.

You won't regret it! :) I really hope both of them end up writing more in the fandom.

No shame! The word must be spread across the fandom!

And seriously, it took me a good minute (or possibly more) to stop grinning like I had concussion when I first read this. Heee.

Hee, thanks! I've spent most of today clapping like a seal (in my head, anyway, as the folks at work wouldn't understand :).
